Brand New BabyLock Symphony

I was at the local fabric store today and walked out with a brand new sewing machine. At the moment, I have my turkey soup, and my laptop out looking at the boards. As soon as the soup is gone, I'm ready to dig into the manual and figure out what I just bought. Any other Symphony owners out there - any tips or advice on my new machine would be very welcome. I'm excited to get going, but starving - so got to eat first!

I used to own the espire( one before the symphony) for several years. It is a lovely machine, very user friendly lots of awesome features, was my fave before I upgraded in sept to an embroidery combo. You shouldn't have any problems, and she FMQ very beautifully with the AHA feature. I hope you enjoy yours as much I enjoyed mine foor almost 3 years of having her. Just dive in!!! You will learn as you go the new features.

I have a Symphony, got her when they first came out (two years this fall) and I absolutely positively LOVE it!! I just can't think right off the top of my head what I love about it the most as I basically have no negative issue with it at all. It sew through layers like nothing, is so user friendily, threads like a dream, and just has so many features I know I haven't used them all yet!
If you have any questions or anything I can help you with don't hesitate to contact me, probably by PM as I don't always get on here to read posts.
You will love your Symphony. I also have the Elegante2 that I use for embroidery mostly...but did get my Symphony because I loved sewing so much on my Elegante....very similar machines in features other than the embroidery.
I think you will be so happy you went to that local fabric store and walked out with your machine!

Our lives are like quilts....bits and pieces....joys and sorrows....stitched together with love.
Babylock Crescendo, Elegante2, and Ellure.....for the love of sewing!

I own the Brother Lauren Ashley that is the twin to the Symphony. I have owned it for over two years and I love it. It has a nice size throat, a lot of decorative stitches, an awesome lettering mode which I use on spit rags, and it came with many, many feet. When you use the clip on table it came with, it gives you a nice working surface. It is very user friendly. I think you will love it.

Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone....NOT your housework!
